I believe that a well-crafted ghost tale must combine action and philosophy regarding the existence and purpose of ghosts. It should feel authentic, allowing readers to recall the story and become fearful when encountering similar situations. Furthermore, exploring human nature is beneficial in depicting how even seemingly insignificant things can terrify people. Both H.G. Wells […]

Wells’ “The Red Room”.In C. F.I.P (Confessions Found in a Prison) the narrator seems quite a normal man, but is driven to the murder of his […]
I think the most successful ghost story; out of ‘The Red Room’ by H. G. Wells and ‘Farthing House’ by Susan Hill is the latter. Both of the stories that we have read explore the feelings of horror and fear. In each story the characters react very different to the different types of ghost that […]
